China Finishes TV film on Traditional Zodiac
A 25-parts TV film explaining Chinese traditional zodiac -- the 24 solar terms -- has finished shooting and will be televised soon, sources said.
The terms are an important component of Chinese culture, which has a history of 3,000 years. They refer to the 24 days marking the 24 divisions of the solar year, which reflect seasonal climate changes and have been used as the primary guide for agricultural production in China.
TV film expounds on the 24 terms and their origin and gives scientific explanations of the system.
